My crazy life

I've decided to start a personal blog as a way to vent, celebrate and be amazed by this thing we know as life.

Where to start I'm 24 and live with my husband and 2 beautiful daughters Claire, 5 and Bellah, 2 and twin boys, Lleyton & Jackson born May, 2011 at 35 weeks. I'm a WAHM (work at home mum) I own and founded my own business, Clabel Designs. I make invitations, greeting cards, nursery decor, other types of decor, handmade baby and childrens items, hair clips you name it I have a crack at it. I just love to create and can't put a limit on it!

My other job that I do part time is being a consultant for the Body Shop which I adore as I love what they stand for with fair trade and natural ingredients, no animal testing and even more I LOVE the product!

Well I think that sums it up I hope you enjoy reading about the crazy, wonderful life that I have

My goals and aspirations

Considering my days are filled with sitting on the couch feeding the twins I get a lot of time to think lately. So I now have many goals that I wish to fulfill, hopefully I succeed.

Goal 1 - Clean out my office!
When I fully return to work, (which considering I work from home should be when the boys have started having solid blocks of sleep) I want to do so with a clear mind, a room where my materials each have a place they belong not like now where it is major disorganisation!
Once  I have boxed everything up my wonderful husband is building a new desk and storage system for me. I'll make sure to post some before and after pics!

Goal 2 - Return to work!
I cannot wait to be able to return to work and the beauty of my job, I get to stay home with my babies but right now it is impossible to create invitations, canvases etc whilst I am feeding so much. When I do return I want to be busy! I have huge plans for lots of new designs and a more efficient way of working, I don't want to be a small time business, what I what is for my business to make me an income, I want to say goodbye to centrelink and earn some real money and do all the things we dream of - buy a house, new car, holidays - all the good stuff!

Goal 3 - Take of with The Body Shop At Home!
As well as my business I run from home I am also a consultant with The Body Shop At Home and have an absolute ball partying! The body shops core values are truly inspirational.
Against animal testing
Support community trade
Activate self esteem
Defend human rights
Protect our planet

What great values to have! I believe in and support each one of those so the body shop is the perfect job for me plus there are a number or campaigns the body shop are behind which are also really rewarding to be a part of such as:
Childwise: Body shop has a product called Soft ands Kind Heart which is a hand cream and 100% of te proceeds go towards childwise who protect children in Cambodia from human trafficking, sexual abuse and slavery and for just $10.95 its a very worthwhile buy not to mention the product is great!
Like the last goal as I've had the twins I haven't been able to party and I really miss it! But now I have to start again searching for people to have parties, so I am going to flick through the catalogue and find some nice goodies to buy to thank people for holding parties and supporting me getting back into the workforce.

Goal 4 - Operation house 180!
As the title suggests I want to flip my house around! It's been the wrong way for far too long and things need to change! Obviously my house won't be spotless for many years and I don't expect it to be with 4 young children but I do want it to be clean and tidy and will be setting up some sort of routine which also gets the kids (plus hubby!) picking up after themselves and carrying out small chores. Then we can work on making the house look nicer with some little luxeries such as a new TV!

Thats my goals for now :) Thanks for reading!
